Funding Opportunities
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued its Fiscal Year (FY) 22 Phase I Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

NOAA has issued its Fiscal Year (FY) 22 Phase I Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. NOAA Phase I SBIR awards provide up to $150,000 with up to a six (6) month period of performance for conducting feasibility and proof of concept research with a tentative award start date of August 1, 2022. NOAA encourages proposals from qualified small businesses for highly innovative technologies with strong commercial potential that fit within the NOAA mission areas.

To be eligible to submit a Phase I application, small businesses must submit a required Letter of Intent via this form by December 13, 2021 at 11:59 pm (ET). In response to submission of the Letter of Intent, the NOAA SBIR program will provide feedback indicating if an application is likely to be nonresponsive to the NOFO. Instructions for submitting the Letter of Intent are available in the Notice of Funding Opportunity.

Full applications for Phase I must be submitted through grants.gov by February 18, 2022 at 11:59 pm (ET).
